First, canned asparagus is nasty, slimy, stringy, olive green... 
eeew. I wouldn't serve it to my enemies.

Second, why serve asparagus at this time of year? Why not buy 
seasonal vegetables?

I'm live in fresh produce paradise and asparagus is not affordable in 
November or December.  There's usually really good, really reasonably 
priced asparagus in September, but that's the last hurrah, and it's 
locally grown.

When i cook a feast, i look for recipes featuring seasonal produce. 
There are plenty of other good seasonal vegetables available in 
November - especially, but not limited to root vegetables - and fresh 
greens should be affordable.
